Agreed. The biggest way LW has backfired is eating up free time that provides a very questionable ROI. I’ve spent quite a bit of time procrastinating on here, and the amount of actionable advice I’ve put into practice is quite low.
The advice I have put into practice usually works pretty well, but that’s mostly a function of me realizing that it slots in well to my existing habits/ways of thinking.
I probably spend too much time on LW than is warrented, but otherwise I don’t have a particular story of backfired advice that comes to mind.

Same, though in my case it is likely that that time was mostly funging against other internet timewasters not my worktime.
